The Barbarians surround me. I shall wage further wars for Texas, then restore civil authority, allowing other elites to achieve office. I will not expand or give rights to the Senate, but my heirs will most likely. Any ideas for fun goals as a Texan warlord?

King James' Demonology mentions that Begger women use herbs to swell their stomachs to appear pregnant. Is that true? What herbs would they have used? Was this common practise in England? What of other lands?

I made a flag for queer Bahais based on a flag I saw in a dream

The 7 pointed flag is from a dream. I made the 9 pointed star and sent the flag to a gay Bahai. Queer Bahais can feel free to use and alter this flag.

To what extent did Volga Germans or other German communities in the USSR pose a security risk in WW2?

Let me be clear: I am NOT defending ethnic ckeansung or genocide. Innocent civilians should not be cleansed from an area based on their ethnicity. What I'm trying to learn is, to what extent should the hostility towards the Volga Germans or related groups be viewed as evil yet reasonable vs evil and unreasonable?

Yo, North Africans, Libyans and Tunisians especially, did Italy influence your cuisine?

Italians have obviously conquered and been conquered by arabs from that general area, and they're also RIGHT next to each other with, I'm sure, some trade and slaves taken in both directions and such, so I'm curious, does Italian food influence north africa? Any dishes in particular?

I'm ruler of the Topeka (Heartlands) Empire, and I'm considering becoming Americanist. Anything interesting I can do as an ORF Americanist

In my experience, Americanists in Texas and the midwest are pretty limited, especially if they're ORF. ORF presidents have their realms become feudal which is annoying, the holy sites are mostly in the east, and there's only so much I can do to help the east. Should I convert to another Americanist sect? Hamiltonians are currently the leading one. Being a Catholic is fun and all, but I'm pretty powerful and I want shit to hit the fan a bit from rebels and factions. There are also Neo-Gnostics in my realm, so maybe I'll convert to them. As am aside, I love Open Range Feudalism. I have a large and powerful senate so maybe that can inreract with Americanism in sone way.

Do Jews still make those demon incantation bowls, or is that an old custom?

Jews, at least in the past, had this ritual technology of bowls made to keep people safe from demons. I'm really into abrahamic and western occultism, so my knowledge of you guys is, perhaps, out of date.

Would gods accept abortions as sacrifices?

I'm not a polytheist, and I'm pro-abortion, but I am curious, polytheistic religions often have sacrifice, ranging from liquid offerings like milk or wine to people. I am not commenting on the ethics, but could somelne get an abortion as a sacrifice to this or that god?

Did former soldiers who served the British or client states experience discrimination, hostility, or legal punishment after Indian independence?

My understanding is that the British relied heavily on locals like Sikhs for example to fill the armies and maintain British dominance. What happened to former soldiers loyal to the UK or their puppets?

How popular was Klezmer in Europe and anglo North America (plus quebec) with non-Jews in the 30's and 40's? Was it even considered a distinct genre?

I love old music and sometimes songs of the era either have similarities to or straught up reference klezmer songs. Would an average brit or Canadian or German know about Klezmer? And did it gain/lose popularuty and acceptance in the nazi years?

What were the authors intending to convey when Lot's daughters wrongly thought theor family were the last humans?

If I remember the basic gist of the story correctly, Sodom gets destroyed after the rape thing, and Lot's daughters think they're the last people. I realize a big part of this plot detail was just "our enemies are inbred lmao, here's their origin", but was there anything else of importance to them falsely thinking they were the last people? Was it an allusion to Noah's flood?

Are "brainrot" and silly trends universal, particularly among youth?

Like, modern western kids have 67, they have the cool S, they have memes, do all or almost all societies have this sort of trivial communication that spreads like a virus? I am reminded of Roman SATOR squares.

I am gay. My wife is gay. Her brother is gay. I am sleeping with her brother.

I began as the duke of the quad cities of the Rodman dynasty. I won Missouri in a crusade. Yada yada, now a few generations later I rule most of the lands of the Heartland Empire and will soon form it. My wife is princess of Comancheria, and I was gonna conquer the kingdom, but it seems I conquered the king's heart instead. I have had a lot of queer men this dynasty. When I die I'll probably conquer Comancheria. Also, I'm not a fan of "Heartland empire". Any ideas on other names I could use?

Does the formula of the Shahada predate Islam?

Islam is, unsurprisingly, influenced heavily by Judaism, Christianity, and local Arab culture and beliefs. Does the Shahada, the affirmation of Allah as the only God and Muhammad as his meesenger, have roots in pre-Islamic times? Would Jews have affirmed Moses for example with a similar formula and occasions?
